15 Actionable Tips for Staying Safe During Times of Civil Unrest
Bearing Arms ^ | 3 Feb, 2017 | Brian Lenney

Since the Donald entered the White House, America has gone from bad to worse as far as violence goes. The rise of mob violence, riots, and outright targeting of people by domestic terrorist groups – like Antifa, Communists, Black Lives Matter, and other Soros-funded radical far-left groups – isn’t to be taken lightly. We saw Berkeley blow up in riots because Milo Yiannopoulos was invited to speak there. We saw mobs rioting in Portland. We saw Washington D.C. trashed at the Women’s March and inauguration riots, and we saw violent leftists attack people at a College Republicans event at NYU where Gavin Mcinnes was speaking. Essentially, we’ve seen every major urban city on the both coasts explode with violence. Until these jobless, bandanna wearing, woman-beating losers get arrested, America’s urban centers will continue to see violence as they continue to rage against freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of religion, and well…just plain freedom. Just look at some of the action from the past few days and weeks:

I had checked it out last year, and it utilizes some well known names as instructors
It comes highly recommended since some of the instructors live the prepping lifestyle
or have lived the prepping lifestyle out of survival, and not by choice, so they teach by personal experience.
Much of the subject matter is what we already take for granted, such as water purity, human sanitation, medicine and physiology, etc.
The level of instruction allows for instruction and questions and feedback with answers; it is a unique educational survival website.
I had hoped to see if we could get a "group rate" for tuition, but I haven't heard back from them yet. I will advise if I get a response.

Thanks for the ping. Dress to infiltrate so they think you are one of them, and get the heck away ASAP.

I live in a neighborhood where my 2-1/2 acres (surrounded by trees and with the house set back 100 yards from the street) is one of the smaller ones. Good, conservative neighbors and plenty of firearms and ‘country smarts”. Lay of the land would make it easy to block off access to a 3 mile stretch and maintain control.

San Antonio, TX now has K-9 units patrolling grocery store parking lots thanks to all the illegals. This is normal times. This is what we turned into under the Terrorist in Chief. A riot would be hell on earth.

The Austin, TX mayor said last week that 1 in 4 Austinites weren’t born in the US. Can’t remember which CA city’s official said 1 in 5 weren’t born here, either.

They sure went all out to push civil unrest with the Trayvon Martin / George Zimmerman (white/Hispanic), “hands up don’t shoot” Michael Brown BS, etc. It’s like they want bloodshed.

If there is ever major civil unrest, the media has to be addressed. Thankfully, Trump seems to be addressing them on a regular basis.

I may end up dead, but I’m taking one helluva pile of em with me.

~ A Rifleman’s Prayer ~

Oh Lord, I would live my life in freedom, peace and happiness, enjoying the simple pleasures of hearth and home.
I would die an old, old man in my own bed, preferably of sexual overexertion.

But if that is not to be, Lord, if monsters such as this should find their way to my little corner of the world on my watch,
then help me to sweep those bastards from the ramparts, because doing that is good, and right, and just.

And if in this I should fall, let me be found atop a pile of brass, behind the wall I made of their corpses.

Amen!

I made a concerted effort to move. Away. Far, far away from, ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan.’

If we thought the Leftist riots in the past were violent, destructive and costly, we ain’t seen nothin’ yet, I’ll bet!

What about a taser? Are they effective for a woman to use to gain time to run away?

I don't like tasers much. The kind that shoots the probes so you can have some distance are single shot deals. The hand-held kind with two attached electrodes almost require hand-to-hand combat skills and are too easy to take away.

A challenge for law-abiding, decent, and pleasant residents of suburban-to-exurban areas is how to accurately recognize when things are going bad as a leftwinger demonstration morphs into a riot.

Leftwingers have been conditioned to sense they are NOT held accountable for their behavior. For some, that is all they have known their whole lives. Attack, assault, burn, and loot. It is generally permitted and maybe gets a stern lecture plus slap on the wrist.

It seems unjust to me an innocent homeowner must await until his or her vehicles are being smashed and molotov cocktails are setting the residence aflame. For situationally-aware folks without military background descibed above, that type of classroom training would be beneficial. Why should innocents need to be killed, injured, or sustain life-changing intentional property damage? I don't even know if my insurance policies even cover *that* kind of unexpected loss!

In the short-term period...courts simply MUST find ways to convict rioters of FELONY charges, levy expensive fines, give one-year community service, and require mandatory jail between arrest and trial. The "free ride and party atmosphere" absolutely has to be halted.

Funny you should mention that,
I brought the fam up to Wausau this weekend. Ski day at Rib mtn, running the snow machines out near Elderon and a stop at Briq’s. Both children said they wanna move up to “da Norf” and get away from Madistan. Tomahawk would be my choice though.

To kill a snake one must cut off it’s head. In this case, Soros must be taken out. Either send in a SEAL team to take him out, or better yet, just drone his sorry azz. With him gone, the funding for this stuff will quickly dry up and it sends a strong message as well.

Soros resides somewhere in upstate NY.
Not so sure that I wish for Big Government to be whacking people or sending drone strikes here domestically.

My anticipation is the effeminate men with skinny jeans and beards (why is that, anyway) whom Soros employs will lose interest once they see felony convictions, $25,000 fines, and time behind bars when caught engaging in rioting/violent protest.

Big Gov (under RAT control) has already set the precedence when they took out David Koresh down here in Waco. Yeah, a drone strike is an overreach, but maybe they can make it a little more palatable by just making him “disappear” from the face of the earth....kinda like Jimmy Hoffa.
